I just upgraded my home PC with an i5 processor, 16 GB RAM, Win7 x64, and 2GB GeForce GTX 650 graphics card. I installed Revit 2013 so I could work on projects at home. I just noticed that the contextual Modify menu that comes up while a command is in progress doesn't display correctly. In fact it seems to display the contextual menu for whatever the PREVIOUS command was.

So if I draw some walls, and then start a floor, I get the wall contextual modify tools. Or if I place a floor first, finish the sketch, and then place walls, I get the Floor Sketch tools while trying to place walls. If I hit the little down arrow to the right of the Modify ribbon tab name, and click it 4 times, then the correct modify tools will come up.

I tried updating to the latest nVIDIA driver, but no luck. Still does it. 2014 seems fine.

Is it the .NET 4.5 problem?
I believe 2013 SP2 is supposed to fix that.

Yes I think that is probably it, just realized it this morning. I just installed Revit 2013 and Revit 2014 on my home machine a couple of weeks ago, and forgot about the SP's. A co-worker's machine here in the office is doing the same thing and his is also the original release of 2013.
